Because of the many PFAS lawsuits in New England and elsewhere, this panel will address legal issues arising from PFAS contamination and legal liabilities that could arise from consultant and engineering practices.

Ken Gray’s practice focuses on counseling and enforcement issues related to hazardous substance and hazardous waste management, cleanup, and liability, including toxic tort matters; chemical safety requirements under a variety of laws including the Occupational Safety and Health Act; product regulation including toxic substance manufacturing and processing; emergency planning, response, and community right-to-know requirements; groundwater and drinking water regulation; and transactional matters related to environmental concerns.
